The Southwold Railway Trust is dedicated to restoring and preserving the historic narrow gauge railway that once connected the popular Suffolk seaside resort of Southwold with Halesworth, eight miles inland. Originally opened in 1879, the railway offered scenic views along the River Blyth before its closure in 1929, and efforts are now underway to reopen sections of the route for future generations to enjoy. At the Southwold Railway Steamworks, the Trust is actively working on projects such as the restoration of locomotive No. 3 Blyth and the development of a heritage train. With the support of volunteers and donations, the Trust aims to bring narrow gauge steam back to Suffolk after a hiatus of 90 years, ensuring that this unique piece of railway history remains alive.
